Visions From God

Does the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) still give people visions today?

The best place to begin is with an explanation of the three different types of vision

An open vision is when the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) causes someone to see something that cannot be seen by others - while they are wide awake (Numbers 24:2-4).

A person might also fall into a trance, where they able to move or see the natural world, when they are given a vision (Numbers 24:15-16).

A person can also have their eyes opened to see both the spiritual world and the natural world at the same time (2 Kings 6:15-17).

We will now examine how visions operated under the Original Covenant (Tanakh aka The Old Testament).

The Father of Truth spoke to the Prophets of Truth in visions (Numbers 12:6).  The Father of Truth revealed Himself to the Prophets of Truth through visions (1 Samuel 3:19-21). The Father of Truth has spoken to Israel by giving visions to the Prophets of Truth (Hosea 12:10). 

The first person to have the Father of Truth speak to them in a vision was Abraham (Abram), where He promised to give Abraham a multitude of descendants (Genesis 15:1-5).  Abraham was also the first person to be called a prophet (Genesis 20:7-9).

The Prophets of Truth did not always discern that they were being called by the Father of Truth, because they did not recognize His voice the first time they heard it (1 Samuel 3:4-8).  They did not have a vision, until they answer the call from the Father of Truth (1 Samuel 3:9-10).

Often, the vision concerned judgment for sin (1 Samuel 3:11-14).  The Prophets of Truth were usually given visions about judgment for sin (2 Chronicles 9:29).   Prophets of Truth, like Isaiah, were given grievous visions of judgment, which were called the burden of the subject of the vision (Isaiah 21:1-3).

The Father of Truth gave Obadiah, a Prophet of Truth, a vision of judgment upon the Edomites (Obadiah 1:1-2).  He also gave another Prophet of Truth, Nahum, the burden of Nineveh - a vision of coming judgment on Nineveh (Nahum 1:1-2).

Prophets of Truth had understanding in visions from the Father of Truth (2 Chronicles 26:5).  These visions were plain and true - unlike those from the Prophets of Lies, which they saw while they were drunk (Isaiah 28:1-7).  Yet, people were unable to understand the visions of the Prophets of Truth, when they did not love the Father of Truth with their whole hearts (Isaiah 29:11-14).

The Prophets of Truth often did not want to share the vision with those who faced judgment, but they were compelled to share it (1 Samuel 3:15-18). 

The Father of Truth sometimes spoke to a Prophet of Truth about something in a first vision (2 Samuel 7:4-17).  Then He confirm it with a second similar vision (1 Chronicles 17:3-15).

However, the details were slightly different to show that the vision would come to pass in two different ways.

For example, consider the two visions concerning the son of David.

First, there was a vision, which had the promise that the son of David, Solomon (Shlomo), would reign over Israel after him, even though Solomon would be punished for his own sins (2 Samuel 7:12-16).  Then there was a second vision, which had the promise that the Son of David, the Messiah of Israel, would reign over Israel after him, even though the Messiah of Israel would be punished - but not for his own sins (1 Chronicles 17:11-14).

Some Prophets of Truth had so many visions from the Father of Truth that they had to be written in a book (2 Chronicles 32:32).  These visions have been written down, so the Children of Truth could take action and live by faith (Habakkuk 2:2-4).

The Book of Isaiah, one of the ten longest books in the Book of Truth, is a collection of the many visions given to Isaiah (Yeshayahu), along with the historical context of the visions (Isaiah 1:1).  

Many of these visions occurred in the Kidron valley just outside of Jerusalem, so it is referred to as the valley of visions (Isaiah 22:1-10).

The visions from the Father of Truth gave to the Prophets of Truth were often spread over a period of many years.

In the captivity of Judah, Ezekiel (Yechezqel), a Priest of Truth, also was given a vision from the Father of Truth (Ezekiel 1:1-3).  He saw a vision of judgment upon Jerusalem that none could escape, because they still had not repented of their wickedness (Ezekiel 7:13).  There would be no vision given to a Prophet of Truth to help them escape judgment (Ezekiel 7:26-27).

Then Ezekiel, the Prophet of Truth, was given another vision from the Father of Truth, where the people he sat with disappeared from his sight, but instead he saw the Messiah of Israel, and was shown the wickedness that was continuing in Jerusalem by the Spirit of Truth (Ezekiel 8:1-6).  After the vision was over, Ezekiel told those in the captivity what he had seen (Ezekiel 11:24-25).

Then Ezekiel was told that the visions of judgment would come to pass shortly - within the lifetime of the scoffers of Jerusalem (Ezekiel 12:21-28).  This wrath would come to make it plain that the visions of peace were not from the Father of Truth, but from the wicked hearts of the Prophets of Lies (Ezekiel 13:15-17).

The Prophets of Lies claimed to be from the Father of Truth, but He did not send them and their visions were lies (Jeremiah 14:14).  Their visions came from their own hearts, - not from the Father of Truth (Jeremiah 23:16).  Since the visions of these Prophets of Lies were not from the Father of Truth, Jerusalem was destroyed (Lamentations 2:8-10).

After Jerusalem was destroyed, then Ezekiel was given another vision of a rebuilt Jerusalem to tell to the Children of Israel (Ezekiel 40:1-3).  He was to tell them all that he saw of this better Jerusalem, which would be ruled by the Messiah of Israel (Ezekiel 43:3-7).

Years later, Daniel, the Prophet of Truth had a vision of a warring ram and goat, followed by a little horn that came out of one of the four horns of the goat and became great (Daniel 8:1-10).   This little horn then desecrated the Temple and caused it to be desolate of the Children of Truth for 2,300 days (Daniel 8:11-14). 

Then Gabriel the Angel of Truth appeared to him in the vision and explained that ram and the goat were the Medo-Persian and Greek Empires that were to come after the Babylonian Empire (Daniel 8:15-22).  He also explained to Daniel that the little horn was the Man of Lies, who would oppress many before being destroyed by the Messiah of Israel, far in the future (Daniel 8:23-27).

After, the Babylonian Empire fell, and the Medo-Persian Empire rose, Gabriel was sent again to Daniel to expand upon the vision concerning the Messiah of Israel and the Man of Lies (Daniel 9:21-27).

Years after that, Daniel had another vision after three weeks of mourning (Daniel 10:1-3).  The Messiah of Israel appeared to him, but no one else with him saw the vision (Daniel 10:4-7).  The vision took away the strength of Daniel, causing him to fall asleep, until the Messiah of Israel raised him up (Daniel 10:8-11).

Then the Messiah of Israel told Daniel that he had been sent to show Daniel another vision inside this vision as soon as Daniel had began his mourning, but had been opposed by the Angel of Lies who ruled over the Medo-Persian Empire in the unseen world (Daniel 10:12-15).  The Messiah of Israel promised to show Daniel the vision of what would happen to Israel, and then return to fighting the Angel of Lies who ruled over the Medo-Persian Empire in the unseen world, so the Angel of Lies who ruled over the Greeks could raise up the Greek Empire in its place (Daniel 10:16-21).

So, the only people to have a vision from the Father of Truth in the Original Covenant were the Prophets of Truth.

Then came a time without visions!

During times when people are not keeping the commandments of the Father of Truth, there were often be no open visions given to the Prophets of Truth (1 Samuel 3:1).   The Prophet of Truth Amos had warned that there would a famine of the Word of Truth, which had been delivered by the Prophets of Truth (Amos 8:11-12).

Indeed, for over four hundred years after the last of the Prophets of Truth gave their last messages concerning the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the Temple, there was not a vision or message given to a Prophet of Truth.  The writings of the Prophets in the Original Covenant were complete and so was the era of the Prophets of Truth being given visions.

However, the famine of visions from the Father of Truth came to an end in an unexpected way.

Joel the Prophet of Truth, had said that the day was coming when visions would be given to all kinds people when the Spirit of Truth was poured out - not just the Prophets of Truth (Joel 2:28)!

An old Priest of Truth, Zacharias (Zachariyah), had a vision where Gabriel, the same Angel of Truth that had visited Daniel, told him that he would have a son named John (Yochanon) - who would be the Prophet of Truth sent to prepare the way for the Messiah of Israel (Luke 1:11-22).

The famine of visions from the Father of Truth was over, but it ended with someone besides a Prophet of Truth being given a vision.  This signaled that a new era was beginning.

The vision also promised that the long famine of the Word of Truth not being given would soon end.

Soon, three of the Apostles of Truth saw the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) transfigured into a being of light and talking with Moses (Moishe) and Elias (Elijah aka Eliyahu) in a vision (Matthew 17:1-9).

Later, the unthinkable happened - a group of ordinary Jewish women had a vision of Angels of Truth, who had told them that the Man of Truth had risen from the dead (Luke 24:22-24).

The Father of Truth had given visions three times to people who were not Prophets of Truth.  First a Priest of Truth, similar to Ezekiel, then three Apostles of Truth, but now to ordinary women who no extraordinary calling or office.  The age of only the Prophets of Truth being given visions was plainly over.

Afterwards the Spirit of Truth was poured out on the day of Pentecost and the words of Joel the Prophet of Truth concerning all kinds of people having visions began to come to pass (Acts 2:16-18).

After that, Ananias - an ordinary follower of the Man of Truth outside of the land of Israel - had a vision where he talked to the Man of Truth (Acts 9:10).  The only thing extraordinary about Ananias was that he was very respected Jew, who was careful to always obey the Law of Truth (Acts 22:12).

All of those that had been given visions by the Father of Truth since the end of the famine, had been very devout followers of the Man of Truth, or at least knew the Messiah of Israel was coming soon.

However, the Father of Truth also gave a vision to a Jew who was known for persecuting the Children of Truth (Acts 9:11-14).  This new born among the Children of Truth was chosen to be shown future visions of the Man of Truth (Acts 22:13-14).  Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) had his first vision when the Man of Truth turned him from persecuting the Children of Truth and commissioned him to help other people become part of the Children of Truth (Acts 26:13-19).

So, visions were no longer for given to only those Jews who had been keeping the Law of Truth as the Father of Truth intended.  They were even given to those with misguided zeal and devotion to Him.

Next, a devout Gentile named Cornelius was given a vision of an Angel of Truth, who told him to send for Peter the Jew (Sh'mon aka Simeon aka Simon aka Cephas aka the Apostle Peter), so he did as instructed (Acts 10:1-8).

The Father of Truth had given a devout Gentile, who was still uncircumcised, a vision.  The scope of who were candidates to be given visions would even include those outside of the people of Israel!

While the men sent by Cornelius were on the way to meet Peter the Jew, he fell into a trance and had a strange vision about being commanded to eat unclean animals (Acts 10:9-18).  While he pondered what the vision meant, the Spirit of Truth told him to go with those sent by Cornelius, so he did (Acts 10:19-23).  Peter the Jew finally understood that the vision had nothing to do with food, but rather was about treating Gentiles as being unclean (Acts 10:24-28).  This entire vision had been about the Father of Truth accepting the Gentiles into the House of Truth without requiring them to become Jews through circumcision, as proven by these Gentiles being baptized in the Spirit of Truth (Acts 11:3-18).

It was indisputable that the Spirit of Truth being poured out on all flesh included the uncircumcised flesh of the Gentiles!  Every Child of Truth - Jew or Gentile - was a candidate to be given visions from the Father of Truth!

However, like Peter the Jew, someone can see an Angel without it being a vision from the Father of Truth, even though a vision can be so real that it is hard to tell the difference (Acts 12:7-11).

A vision can also happen at night while someone is still awake, like when Paul the Jew had a vision of a man from Macedonia asking for help (Acts 16:9-10).  He was also given a vision at night telling him to not be afraid to preach the Good News in Corinth, for he would be protected there (Acts 18:9-10).

Paul the Jew was given many visions by the Father of Truth (2 Corinthians 12:1).  His visions were so real, that he could not be sure whether or not that some events had been visions or had really happened (2 Corinthians 12:2-4).

John the Jew (Yochanon aka the Apostle John (brother of James)) also had a really long and real vision that covers most of the Book of Revelation (Revelation 9:17).

So, we have seen examples of all kinds of people being given visions from the Father of Truth. 

Of these, only Paul the Jew might have been a Prophet of Truth (Acts 13:1).  At most, one of them was called a Prophet of Truth, even though there will still be Prophets of Truth under the Renewed Covenant until we all become perfect like the Man of Truth (Ephesians 4:11-13).

They were all kinds of people.  Men and women, Jews and Gentiles, Apostles of Truth and regular Children of Truth.  The only thing that they had in common was that they were very devoted to the Father of Truth.

We are under the Renewed Covenant until the Man of Truth returns to rule the Earth (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).

So, even today the Father of Truth gives visions to all kinds of people who are devoted to Him.  He continues to gives visions to the Children of Truth until the end of this age!

Then the end of all visions will come.

A vision was also given to King David, another Prophet of Truth, concerning both himself and the Messiah of Israel, who was yet to come and reign (Psalm 89:19-21).  When that day comes, there will be no more need for prophets or visions (1 Corinthians 13:9-12)!

The Father of Truth will one day keep the Prophets of Lies from having any more visions (Micah 3:5-7).  When the Man of Truth rules over Israel, there will be no more prophets or visions (Zechariah 13:1-5).

Until that day, anyone who comes into the House of Truth can be given a vision from the Father of Truth!

The Father of Truth promises that He will make Himself known to everyone who seeks Him with their whole heart (Jeremiah 29:13).  Everyone who comes into the House of Truth will know Him (Jeremiah 31:33-34).  This is what is promised in the Renewed Covenant to everyone who comes into the House of Truth (Hebrews 8:8-11).

Some of those who come into the House of Truth will even see the Man of Truth in visions (1 John 3:5-6)!

You just need to surrender control of your life to the Man of Truth, because you believe that his Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).  Then you will one day no longer need a vision to see the Man of Truth, because you will be like him and see him as he really is (1 John 3:1-2)!

Come into the House of Truth!

Better Than Sex

What is better than sex?

When I was twenty I married the love of my life.  All through my twenties and beyond my wife was always dragging me into the bedroom.  Some days off we would go every two hours.  Some nights I wondered if she knew that people were actually supposed to sleep at night.  Sometimes I felt like an over milked cow.  Fortunately, I would get ten to fourteen days of reprieve every month.

Now I do not want to give anyone the wrong impression about my wife.  My wife was beyond thermonuclear hot.  The surface of a white dwarf star was cold compared to her.  The theoretical big bang explosion could not have been hotter than my wife.

Nor was there any kind of physical issue that was causing us problems.  During the ten years from when we were first married until I had my last child at thirty my wife was pregnant ten times.  Sadly, she had seven miscarriages and three of them were twins.  Three times she ended up pregnant despite both of us taking every precaution possible other than abstinence.  According to US government studies the chances of pregnancy were about 3 in 10,0000 with our set of precautions.  We managed to beat those odds three times because we were as fertile as the Garden of Eden.

I had not fallen of out love with her or any such nonsense as that.  I was crazy about my wife and still am.  I have always loved spending time with her.  There has never been another woman in my life nor will there ever be.  I love her more than the air I breathe.

Now I suppose most men would not have found this to be problem yet I did.  The problem was not a total lack of interest on my part or that I lost interest in her or anything like that. The problem was just there was something else in my life that neither my wife nor any woman could ever compete with.

This other thing was so amazing that my wife would have to drag me away from it from time to time and remind me of my obligations to her.  This other thing was so good that I would not eat for days despite my huge appetite for food and the superb cooking of my wife just so I could keep at it.  The fact is that I had found something that was better than sex.

Now I am not the only man who has found this activity that is better than sex.  Those men who find this activity are in no way uninterested in the opposite sex.  In fact, they quite often seem to be rather romantic and some are involved with many women over the course of their lives.  You can be sure that they are in no shape, form, or fashion involved in homosexuality.  In fact, the more involved they become in this activity the more repulsive homosexuality becomes to them.

For example, consider King David who also found this thing that is better than sex.

David wanted to be sure that he would get the girl for killing Goliath before he ever picked up his sling (1 Samuel 17:25-27).  He then killed two hundred Philistines to close the deal because he was anxious to be involved with his first wife (1 Samuel 18:26-28).  Then he married more wives and concubines (2 Samuel 5:13).  He had at least ten concubines (2 Samuel 15:14-16).  He also had at least seven more wives (1 Chronicles 3:1-5).  So David had was sexually involved with at least eighteen women.  David plainly was interested in women.

Yet he found spending time with the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) to be better than life itself and more desirous than eating food or drinking water (Psalm 63:1-3).

He desired to spend time worshiping the Father of Truth more than he desired his wife (2 Samuel 6:14-23).  David delighted in the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) and meditated on it day and night (Psalm 1:1-2).  His greatest desire was to be in the House of the Father of Truth where His presence dwells (Psalm 26:6-8).  David found a day spent with the Father of Truth to be better than a thousand days doing anything else (Psalm 84:10).  He was willing to go through any kind of affliction to learn how to keep the commandments of the Law of Truth in the way that the Father of Truth intended because David found that to be true riches (Psalm 119:71-73).

David had always been in pursuit of pleasing the Father of Truth by keeping His commandments (1 Samuel 13:14).  It was being anointed with the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) that caused David to delight in spending time with the Father of Truth, reading His Word and being in His presence at a fanatical level (1 Samuel 16:13).  All the revelations that the David had about the future and the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) that He wrote in the Psalms had came from spending time with the Spirit of Truth (2 Samuel 23:1-3).  David would have rather of lost anything, including his wives, than to have lost his connection to the Spirit of Truth (Psalm 51:11).  It was experiences with the Spirit of Truth that he found to be better than sex.

I have also found experiences with the Spirit of Truth to be better than sex.  I would usually start off praying in tongues and in my understanding about whatever was on my mind.  This might go on for a few minutes or maybe even a few hours if I had a lot on my mind.  Then suddenly things would get interesting.

Sometimes the Spirit of Truth would cause me to break out singing songs.  Often they were in a language that I did not know but the Spirit of Truth would still cause me to understand them.  Sometimes I would preach out loud in these other languages.  Sometimes these were human languages that I did not know and sometimes it was the language spoken by the angels.

For example, I did this often on the rooftop of the house of my landlord when I lived in Greece.  I could not speak Greek and he could not speak much English when I arrived in Greece.  About a year later, he told me through his wife who spoke better English and my wife who had mastered conversational Greek (I told you that she was extraordinary) that I had been preaching in Greek and he had learned things about the Father of Truth and the Man of Truth that he had never learned in his church.

In similar fashion, one of my fellow airman, who had been to Israel, told me that I had been preaching in Hebrew when I stayed the night at the site where I worked.  I honestly do not know how many times I have spoken in a language that I did not know but someone else who heard me understood.

Other times, the Spirit of Truth would explain some passage in the Book of Truth (The Bible) to me that I was struggling to understand.  The Spirit of Truth would lead to passages in the Book of Truth to show me things in there that I had never heard preached.  The Spirit of Truth would also tell me what to do about situations in my life where I needed wisdom.  The Spirit of Truth would show me changes that I needed to make in my own life.  The Spirit of Truth would talk to me about all kinds of things.

Sometimes the Spirit of Truth would show me judgments that were going to come about although they were often conditional upon whether or not people repented.  The Spirit of Truth showed me things like smart phones, embedded microchips and other technologies that would be invented so that the prophecies in the Book of Truth could literally come to pass.  The Spirit of Truth would show me political changes like the end of the USSR that were necessary to set the stage for the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast) to rise suddenly to power.

For example, from 1997 to 2001 I warned people constantly that the US was going to be attacked on American soil by Muslims as judgment for doing wicked things like abortion and divorce for any cause unless we repented.  I was called a false prophet by many people who claimed to be Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) and an Islamaphobe by human secularists.  Yet somehow when Muslim terrorists attacked the US on American soil on September 11th all of my detractors were suddenly silent.

After that churches were filled to the brim for about three weeks but most of the religious professionals lied to people to make them feel better.  They did not tell Americans the truth that this was judgment for the wickedness of America and repentance from national sin was the only way to avoid worse judgment in the future.  Sadly, America has only grown much more wicked and the death of America is inevitable without dramatic and widespread repentance.

Mostly, the Spirit of Truth would make me stronger on the inside so that I was more like the Man of Truth and draw me closer to the Father of Truth. I could feel the presence of the Father of Truth and the longer I was in His presence the stronger I would feel.

Sometimes I would be transported to another place on Earth, or so it seemed, and would see what was going on there.  Usually I would start praying about the situation in the Spirit of Truth although sometimes I would lay hands on people who were sick or tell Spirits of Lies (devils aka demons aka unclean spirits aka gods) that they had to leave.  This would continue until the situation was resolved.

These trips were so vivid that I could not tell if I was only seeing the situation or I was actually there.

For example, in one case I could feel the African heat in the grass hut where I stood.  I could hear people talking in what I presumed was Swahili.  I could smell the food that had been cooked there and the smell of illness that protruded from the white man on the cot.  When I laid my hand on his head to heal him I could feel his fever.  Then the fever left and he looked right at me.  He seemed to be aware of my presence but it seemed that he could not actually see me.

When these events first occurred I wondered at times if these experiences were real or if I just had an over active imagination.  Even if they were real, I was not sure if I had only had a vision of people in need or if these events had really happened in some cases.  It did not take long to get my answer. 

Sometimes when I was visiting people in other towns and went to church with them I would encounter some of the people that I had seen in these experiences with the Spirit of Truth.  One that particularly stood out was the iterating missionary that was telling about his experiences in Africa to a church that I was visiting.  He had been struck down with a tropical disease that had nearly killed him.  He then proceeded to tell about how he had felt a hand on his forehead, the fever left and how he looked to see who had laid their hand on him in the hut.  He told how he thought it must have been an angel because he could not see anyone but he could feel the presence of the Spirit of Truth.  Everything he said matched exactly what I had experienced.

Sometimes it would seem that I had only been praying for a few minutes but when I stopped I would find that eight hours had actually went by.  It was as if I had been in a place where time had no meaning.

These were not occasional occurrences but everyday occurrences.  I never knew what was going to happen when I spent time praying in tongues but if I knew if I kept at it something would always occur.  It was addictive.  I never wanted it to end.  It was better than sex.

Of course, the test of rather or not something really came from the Father of Truth is NOT the experiences that I or anyone else has had.  These experiences have to be measured against the Book of Truth just like dreams and visions to see if they really are from the Spirit of Truth.   The Spirit of Truth will never lead people into something that contradicts the Book of Truth because the Spirit of Truth is the author of the Book of Truth (2 Peter 1:21).

While David was anointed with the Spirit of Truth, that is to say poured on his head, the Man of Truth came to baptize, that is to say to totally submerse, people in the Spirit of Truth (Mark 1:7-9). He told the Apostles of Truth and the other Children of Truth that they would be baptized in the Spirit of Truth if they would wait for the baptism of the Spirit of Truth in Jerusalem (Acts 1:3-5).  The Children of Truth who obeyed his instructions began to speak in languages that they did not know when they were baptized in the Spirit of Truth (Acts 2:1-4).  This is when the Children of Truth began to produce the sound of power.

Even though the Children of Truth are speaking in a language that they do not know it is sometimes a message about the Man of Truth in a language that their listeners understand (Acts 2:5-11).  This is a sign to the hearer so that they might believe the message that they are hearing (1 Corinthians 14:22).

Other times they are speaking the language spoken by angels (1 Corinthians 13:1).  The Children of Truth will also break out singing songs in a language that they do not know (1 Corinthians 14:15).

The Man of Truth not only said that the Children of Truth across the ages would speak in languages that they did not know but they would also cast out Spirits of Lies and heal the sick by laying their hands on the sick (Mark 16:16-18).

The Man of Truth said that the Spirit of Truth would teach the Children of Truth everything they needed to know and bring the Word of Truth back to remembrance when they needed it (John 14:26).  He said the Spirit of Truth would lead the Children of Truth into all truth and even show them future events and inventions in revelations that come from him and the Father of Truth (John 16:13-15).  It is the Spirit of Truth who reveals the deep things that come from the Father of Truth (1 Corinthians 2:9-11).  These revelations from the Spirit of Truth often come to people when they are praying in tongues (1 Corinthians 14:4-6).  The Children of Truth are strengthened in their confidence in the Father of Truth that leads to bold action when they spend time praying through the Spirit of Truth in languages that they do not know (Jude 1:19-21).

Sometimes the Children of Truth are transported to another place during these experiences with the Spirit of Truth.  Ezekiel the Prophet of Truth (Yechezqel) was carried by the Spirit of Truth in a vision to the Temple in Jerusalem where he saw what other people were doing even though he was hundreds of miles away at banks of the Chebar river in modern Syria (Ezekiel 8:3-16).  Philip the Evangelist of Truth was physically transported by the Spirit of Truth in a moment of time from the Gaza road to the city of Azotus that was more than fifty miles away (Acts 8:26-40).  Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) had experiences with the Spirit of Truth that were so vivid that he could not tell whether he actually met the man who had went to Heaven or if he only saw the man who went to Heaven in a vision (2 Corinthians 12:1-4).  John the Jew (Yochanon aka The Apostle John) could actually taste what he ate and feel the results of eating when he had one of these experiences (Revelation 10:8-10).

When the Children of Truth are having one of these experiences with the Spirit of Truth time has no meaning.  Moses (Moishe) twice spent forty days without eating or drinking when he was in the presence of the Father of Truth yet did not suffer hunger or thirst because it did not seem that long to him due to the Spirit of Truth who caused his face to shine (Exodus 34:27-29).   On the other hand shortly before his exile on the isle of Patmos ended, John the Jew had a revelation of the Man of Truth when he was spending time with the Spirit of Truth  (Revelation 1:9-11).  During this short period of time he was taken to Heaven by the Spirit of Truth where he witnesses future events unfold over a span of more than seven years (Revelation 4:1-3).  The amount of time that passes on Earth while someone is having an experience with the Spirit of Truth has absolutely no correlation to the amount of time that they experience while they involved with the Spirit of Truth.

The thing that makes is such an adventure is that you have no control over what will happen when you spend time with the Spirit of Truth because the Spirit of Truth is the one who decides what will happen (1 Corinthians 12:7-11).

So in short, these experiences with the Spirit of Truth that I have had should be so common among the Children of Truth that they almost take them for granted.  This is what it means to be normal when you are involved with the Spirit of Truth.  Time spent with the Spirit of Truth is never boring.  It is a great adventure.  It is better than sex.

These experiences with the Spirit of Truth were in no way done away with when the last Apostle died.  The Children of Truth are supposed to seek after the best gifts that the Spirit of Truth has to offer like a man in pursuit of his wife (1 Corinthians 12:28-31).  The Children of Truth are supposed to seek after the Spirit of Truth to receive what is needed to help other people become stronger in their confidence in the Father of Truth (1 Corinthians 14:1-3).  The Children of Truth are commanded to greatly desire to speak messages by the Spirit of Truth and to not forbid speaking in tongues (1 Corinthians 14:39).  The Children of Truth are commanded to not to shut down the operation of the Spirit of Truth by despising these experiences from the Spirit of Truth (1 Thessalonians 5:19-20).  The Children of Truth are not supposed to do things like that to grieve the Spirit of Truth who lives inside them (Ephesians 4:30).

So even though everyone who comes into the House of Truth receives the better circumcision still not everyone receives the baptism of the Spirit of Truth.  Yet everyone in the House of Truth can receive the baptism of the Spirit of Truth and fire because the Father of Truth has provided five ways to start a fire so that His promise can be fulfilled to everyone who is willing to follow His instructions.  He wants you to have experiences with the Spirit of Truth that are better than sex.

The Father of Truth wants His Children to come to greater revelations about His Word and His Son through the Spirit of Truth (Ephesians 1:17-21).  The Father of Truth wants His Children to be strengthen in their spirit that lives on the inside by spending time with the Spirit of Truth (Ephesians 3:14-19).

The baptism of the Spirit of Truth is both women and men whether they are young or old (Acts 2:17-18). The baptism of the Spirit of Truth is promised to everyone who will come into the House of Truth (Acts 2:38-39).  It was speaking in languages that they did not know which proved that the Gentile Children of Truth were baptized in the Spirit of Truth even though they had never heard of this baptism nor had been circumcised nor even baptized in water (Acts 10:44-47).  The baptism of the Spirit of Truth is for everyone who comes into the House of Truth (Acts 11:15-18).

In order to come into the House of Truth where you can have these experiences that are better than sex you must surrender control of your life to the Man of Truth because you believe that he was raised from the dead by His Father (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth.

Breakfast of Champions

What can you eat to be closer to the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) and operate more easily in supernatural power?

When I was a kid one of the greatest honors that an athlete could achieve was to have their image placed on the front panel of an orange Wheaties box.  Usually it was not just their face on the front panel but some sort of picture of them in an action pose that was appropriate for their sport.  One that is particularly memorable was Bruce Jenner throwing a javelin.

Towards the top of the front panel was the word "WHEATIES" in huge white letters.  Just below the right half of the word "WHEATIES" was the phrase "WHOLE WHEAT FLAKES" in smaller black letters.  Right below that in smaller italicized black letters was the phrase "Breakfast of Champions" in double quotes.

General Mills would have liked for the public to have believed, that becoming a champion athlete like Bruce Jenner, Mohammed Ali, or Mary Lou Retton, all started with eating Wheaties for breakfast everyday.  While diet is an important part to becoming a champion athlete, the truth is that people can become one without eating Wheaties for breakfast every day. 

Of course it is also true that these champions had to have been given the raw talent for their particular sport by the Father of Truth in the first place, or it did not matter what they ate for breakfast.  They then had to be disciplined in every area of life to develop those gifts that they were given, or it did not matter what they ate for breakfast.  No one could be come a champion athlete without these two things, by simply eating Wheaties for breakfast every day.

However, when it comes to being a champion for the Father of Truth, then there really is a breakfast of champions.  This breakfast really does help the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) grow into champions in His Kingdom.

I learned about this breakfast of champions from the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) not long after I was baptized in the Spirit of Truth.  I really wanted to be more like the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ).  I really wanted to know the Father of Truth better.  I really wanted to be able to hear the Spirit of Truth more clearly.  I really wanted to win the fight against my own flesh so I could do the will of the Father of Truth instead of my own will.  So I asked how I could do all of these things.  The Spirit of Truth told me if I really wanted to become one His champions then I should start fasting.  Fasting is the breakfast of champions.

I was not even sure what fasting really was except not eating food.  The Spirit of Truth brought several scriptures to my mind to show me.  Fasting is seeking after the Father of Truth by doing things like praying, reading the Book of Truth and singing praises to Him instead of eating (Nehemiah 9:1-6).  Fasting is serving the Father of Truth by spending time in prayer instead of eating (Luke 2:37).  Fasting is not the same as just going around hungry (2 Corinthians 11:27). 

I remember the first time I decided to fast for a day.  I was pretty much a food addict and about two hours into that first fast I thought I was going to die.  Several times I found a cookie in my hands that I had grabbed without thinking.   Each time I refrained from eating it and put it back where it belonged.  With the help of the Spirit of Truth I never gave into hunger until the twenty-four hours were over but when it was I grabbed the first food I could find and shoved it in my mouth.  You would have thought that I had not eaten in days from the way I acted.

Of course, it was absurd because I was in no actual danger of dying.  A person in average health can go about sixty days without food before they will die.  It is only the mind and emotions of a person that has such a struggle with not eating for a single day.  That is why the Book of Truth (The Bible) refers to fasting as "afflicting your soul" (Isaiah 58:3).

Where did this breakfast of champions come from?

This breakfast of champions is first explained in the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law).   This breakfast of champions is to be eaten every year on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur aka The Fast aka Judgment Day) so that the soul is afflicted by fasting while the High Priest makes atonement for the Children of Truth (Leviticus 16:29-34).  The Day of Atonement is not just a day for abstaining from food but for congregating together like the weekly Sabbath (Leviticus 23:27-32).  The Day of Atonement is a day of additional sacrifices for the atonement of sins while everyone is fasting (Numbers 29:7-11).

Today it is not even possible to keep the Day of Atonement in this manner because without the Temple standing in Jerusalem at best we are Playing With Broken Toys.  The fact is that we do not need to fast on the Day of Atonement for our sins to be atoned for because the Man of Truth has presented his own blood in the Temple in Heaven to atone for our sins (Hebrews 9:11-14).  The truth is that the blood of bulls and goats that were offered on the Day of Atonement were never sufficient to atone for sin but were just a foreshadowing of the only blood that was (Hebrews 10:1-4).

So does this mean that fasting on the Day of Atonement has been done away with?

Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) never taught the Jewish Children of Truth to abandon any of the Feasts of Truth when he preached to the Gentiles for many years (Acts 21:19-21).  He was still living his life in line with the Law of Truth while preaching to the Gentiles for many years outside of the Promised Land (Acts 21:22-24).  In fact, he was still observing the Day of Atonement (The Fast) when he was in chains on the island of Crete on his way to appeal to Caesar in Rome (Acts 27:7-10).

So the Children of Truth can certainly observe the Day of Atonement to some measure.  They can still treat the Day of Atonement as a Sabbath and do the same kind of things so that they do not end up Bored On The Sabbath.   They can still fast on the Day of Atonement.

The Apostles of Truth also said that they never taught that the Gentile Children of Truth needed to keep the Law of Truth in order to come into the House of Truth (Acts 15:23-27).  They taught that the Gentile Children of Truth were under no obligation to keep these feasts (Acts 21:25-26).

It should be obvious that fasting on the Day of Atonement is not one of The Weightier Matters of The Law.  In fact, it should be understood to be one of The Lessor Matters of The Law.  The entire point of the Law of Truth is to bring us to the Man of Truth so we can become the Children of Truth (Galatians 3:24-26). 

So the Children of Truth should not judge each other as doing something wrong if some of them observe the Day of Atonement by fasting while others do not do so because what really matters is knowing the Man of Truth (Colossians 2:16-17).

So should the Children of Truth fast today?

The Man of Truth gave instructions on how the Children of Truth were to fast (Matthew 6:16-18).  He said that they should start fasting after he left this Earth (Matthew 9:15).

There is no better example of this than Paul the Jew who was the greatest champion for the Father of Truth who ever lived during the entire time from when the Man of Truth left this Earth until he returns.

The Pharisees fasted often (Matthew 9:14).  The Pharisees had regularly fasted twice every week  (Luke 18:11-12).  (They did this on Monday and Thursday because those days were both two days away from the Sabbath (Saturday).)  Paul the Jew had been trained as a young man by the greatest Rabbi of the Pharisees of his day - Gamaliel (Acts 22:3).

Paul the Jew continued to identify himself as a Pharisee more than twenty years after he encountered the Man of Truth on the road to Damascus (Acts 23:6).  He continued this discipline of fasting often during his many trials that he encountered while preaching the Good News  (2 Corinthians 11:25-27).

Paul the Jew continued to eat the breakfast of champions far more often than just on the Day of Atonement (The Fast) every year.  In fact, he would have fasted more than 100 days each year by continuing in fasting regularly as the Pharisees did.  He almost certainly fasted more than any of the other Apostles of Truth.

This is part of the reason that in 57 AD Paul the Jew was able to start a church on the island of Rhodes in under eight hours that is still operating today (Acts 21:1).  This is part of the reason that he operated in all of the gifts of the Spirit of Truth so that he could distinguish them from each other (1 Corinthians 12:1-11).  This is part of the reason that he had an abundance of revelations (2 Corinthians 12:1-7).  This part of the reason that he could write scripture that was hard for Peter the Jew (Cephas aka Simon aka Simeon) and the other Apostles of Truth to understand (2 Peter 3:15-16).  This is part of the reason that he wrote more books of the Book of Truth than anyone else.

Who else ate the breakfast of champions?

Peter the Jew chose to spend time praying on the roof while lunch was being prepared and continued to do so until he became very hungry (Acts 10:9-10).  It was while fasting that he heard the Father of Truth in a vision (Acts 10:10-16).  While he was still fasting on the roof he heard the Spirit of Truth clearly tell him to go with men that Cornelius the Gentile had sent (Acts 10:17-20).  He then was told by the Father of Truth while he was fasting that this vision was about the Gentiles being made clean from sin without first becoming Jews through circumcision contrary to every tradition that he had been raised in (Acts 10:28-29).  Cornelius the Gentile had also been fasting when he was told by an Angel of Truth to send for Peter the Jew before Peter the Jew had been given his vision (Acts 10:30-33).  Then while Peter the Jew then was preaching the Good News to Cornelius and the other Gentiles they were baptized in the Spirit of Truth to prove that the visions that Peter the Jew and Cornelius the Gentile had while fasting really were from the Father of Truth (Acts 10:44-47).  So the Good News was first brought to the Gentiles because Peter the Jew and Cornelius the Gentile had both eaten the breakfast of champions.  The vision of Peter the Jew that he had while fasting had nothing to do with food as further explained in I Did Not Mean That.

In similar manner many of champions in the Book of Truth had incredible encounters with the Father of Truth and did incredible things by the power of the Spirit of Truth after they had eaten the breakfast of champions.

Moses received the Law of Truth the first time during a forty day fast (Exodus 24:12-18).  Then he had to go up Mount Sinai to receive the Law of Truth again after it had been broken (Exodus 34:1-2).  Moses received the Law of Truth the second time during another forty day fast (Exodus 34:27-29).  The Law of Truth began to operate when Moses ate the breakfast of champions!

Elijah (Eliyahu) in like manner went up to Mount Sinai (Mount Horeb) as the result of a forty day fast (1 Kings 19:5-8).  It was while living in a cave in Mount Sinai that Elijah heard the voice of the Spirit of Truth so he could find the strength and vision to finish his mission of overcoming the evil rulers of the kingdom of Israel (1 Kings 19:9-19).  The kingdom of Israel was delivered from evil rulers when Elijah ate the breakfast of champions!

King Jehoshaphat lead the kingdom of Judah in fasting when an overwhelming force came against his kingdom (2 Chronicles 20:2-4).  They were delivered without even having to fight (2 Chronicles 20:15-17).  The kingdom of Judah was saved because they ate the breakfast of champions!

Daniel fasted when he wanted to know what would happen to the Jews after the seventy years of captivity was over (Daniel 9:2-4).  The Angel of Truth Gabriel was sent to show him that the kingdom of Judah would be restored, Jerusalem would be rebuilt, the second Temple would be built, the Man of Truth would die to atone for the sins of others, the second Temple would be destroyed by the people of the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast), the Man of Lies would rise up in power to confirm a peace treaty to protect the nation of Israel, and then the Man of Lies would break that treaty by turning against the nation of Israel when he desecrates the third temple (Daniel 9:2-4).  Daniel then fasted again for three weeks to know the rest of the story (Daniel 10:1-3).  He was visited by another Angel of Truth who told him the rest of the story (Daniel 10:12-14).  He was told that the Man of Lies would come to a sudden end that no one could help him escape (Daniel 11:41-45).  He was told that the time of trouble for the Jewish people would finally be over (Daniel 12:1).  Daniel saw the entire future of the Jewish people and the nation of Israel because he ate the breakfast of champions.

Ezra lead the returning captives in fasting to secure safe passage to Jerusalem so they could build the second Temple (Ezra 8:21-23).  Nehemiah fasted to obtain favor from the king so he could lead the returning captives in rebuilding the city of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 1:1-4).  Nehemiah lead the Jews in fasting to rededicate themselves to keeping the Law of Truth (Nehemiah 9:1-3).  Mordecai and Esther lead the Jews in Shushan in fasting to obtain favor from the king and save the Jews throughout the Persian empire from being exterminated (Esther 4).  Another holiday was added to the Biblical calendar to commemorate the deliverance that came from fasting (Esther 9:30-32).  The nation of Israel was restored and the stage was set for the Man of Truth because these Children of Truth ate the breakfast of champions!

The Man of Truth was also lead by the Spirit of Truth to go on a forty day fast to overcome the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) (Matthew 4:1-11).  He began to preach repentance after this fast (Matthew 4:12-17).  He began to preach the Good News after this fast (Mark 1:12-15).   He began to operate in the power of the Spirit of Truth after this fast (Luke 4:13-19).  The Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka New Testament) began to operate when the Man of Truth ate the breakfast of champions!

Paul the Jew and Barnabas the Jew were sent out in the first mission to bring the Good News to the Gentiles in foreign countries after the prophets and teachers at Antioch had fasted (Acts 13:1-3).   The Renewed Covenant began to be spread across the world when these prophets and teachers ate the breakfast of champions!

Of course, just like those athletes on the Wheaties box, eating the breakfast of champions is not enough by itself to make us into champions.  We can only develop the gifts that the Father of Truth gives us (1 Corinthians 7:7).  We must be disciplined in every area of life to develop those gifts and become champions (1 Corinthians 9:25-26).  Eating the breakfast of champions only helps us do these things and is no substitute for these things.

The truth is that fasting does not change the Father of Truth (Malachi 3:6).  It certainly does not change the Father of Lies.  The breakfast of champions changes us.

It helps us get rid of unbelief so that we can operate in the authority that The Man of Truth gave us over the Spirits of Lies (devils aka demons aka unclean spirits aka gods) to deliver other people (Matthew 17:20-21).  It changes us so that we can have victory over every Spirit of Lies (Mark 9:28-29).  It changes us so that we can so we can more clearly hear the Spirit of Truth (Acts 13:2).

It changes us by helping us to put our bodies under the control of our spirits (1 Corinthians 9:27).   This makes it easier to be lead by the Spirit of Truth so that we become more like the Man of Truth (2 Corinthians 3:18).  When we become more like the Man of Truth then we become closer to His Father (Colossians 1:13-15).  This is why I call fasting the breakfast of champions.

So you can start getting all of these benefits by fasting on the Day of Atonement and any other day that the Spirit of Truth leads you to eat the breakfast of champions.  You will even get these benefits if you fast twice a week out of habit provided that your zeal to do so is based on the knowledge of the truth (Romans 10:1-3).

The truth is there is no benefit to eating the breakfast of champions unless you first decide to come into the House of Truth (Isaiah 58:3-7).  The Day of Atonement is really about knowing the Man of Truth who paid for your atonement with his own blood so you could come into the House of Truth (Hebrews 10:12-14).  You can come into the House of Truth to eat the breakfast of champions by putting every area of your life under the discipline of the Man of Truth because you believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:4-9).

Come into the House of Truth.

Dreams and Visions

Have you ever had a dream that might have came from the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD)?

How can you tell if a dream is inspired by the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka the Holy Spirit aka the Holy Ghost) or by a Spirit of Lies (devil aka demon aka god aka unclean spirit) or even just your own imagination?

I have had supernatural dreams and visions.  This is the story of some of those dreams and visions.

When I was eight years old, I went down to an altar, told the Father of Truth that I was sorry for my sins, and asked the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) to come into my heart.

Not long after that, I became so afraid of dying, that I could not sleep at night, because I was afraid that if I went to sleep, then I would never wake up.  I did not understand, what really happens when people die.  So I was terrified of dying.

All I ever got out of listening to the pastor at our Baptist church, was that if we wanted to avoid Hell, then we needed to come down to the altar, admit that we were sinners, and ask the Man of Truth to come into our hearts.  My mother had read us stories out of our Children's Bible for as long as I could remember, but there was a lot of things, that were never covered in the Children's Bible, that were in the Book of Truth (The Bible).  I really had no reason to find comfort in the knowledge, that I would one day die.  So night after night I stayed awake, and cried quietly under my covers, until sleep overtook me .

Then one night, the Man of Truth appeared to me, and told me that I would never die.  I had never heard such a thing, and Baptists did not talk about prophecy, or visions, or anything like that in those days.  I had no idea that the Man of Truth would appear to people, and yet my fears fled, the moment that he spoke to me.

The first thing that I noticed about the Man of Truth, was that he did not look at all like those paintings of him, that I have seen in homes.  He does not look Italian, or anything like those pictures of him, by the great master artists, that I had seen in museums.  He did not even vaguely resemble the tall, white skinned, blond haired, blue eyed, good looking Jesus with the well trimmed beard, that was in the Children's Bible.

Everything about his appearance was a surprise.  His clothing was different than any I had ever seen.  He wore this cloak with what seemed to be white tassels on each corner.  Each of the white tassels were wrapped with a single sky blue thread.  His hair was medium length, black and curly on top. There was a lock of hair that came down on each side of his head and rested on his shoulders.  His beard was full and rough on the edges.  He was about average in height perhaps around 5'10'' (175 cm).  His eyes were dark brown and the color of his skin reminded me of caramel.  His face was not the face of a leading man in a movie but rather one that could have gotten easily lost in a crowd of men with similar skin, hair and clothing.  Although I could not have told you at the time, I can summarize his appearance this way now.  The Man of Truth looked extremely Middle Eastern, intensely Jewish and extraordinarily ordinary.

Shortly after this, I started having a series of dreams that were absolutely terrifying.  I saw people dying from all kinds of terrible disasters all over the earth.  Huge meteorites and hailstones fell from the sky killing people and causing massive destruction.  Terrible fires destroyed entire cities.  Terrible earthquakes leveled everything and even caused mountains to collapse.  Both wild and domesticated animals went crazy and killed many people.  Incurable diseases would wipe out almost everyone in a country.  Millions died of thirst because their water was polluted.  Millions died of starvation because their crops had been destroyed.  There were terrible battles where millions died at a time.  The blood from one of these battles was so deep that the wounded would drown in the blood. It was easy to see that if things kept on going the way that they were in these dreams that it would not take long for every living thing on the face of the Earth to be destroyed.  The Earth seemed destined to becoming as lifeless as the moon.

I also saw this evil leader that tried to make everyone to be marked as belonging to him.  Everyone who refused his mark could not buy groceries or earn money.  When those who had refused his mark were caught and still refused his mark then they were placed in a guillotine on their backs.  If they still refused, then the blade came down and their heads came off.   There were rivers of blood and mountains of heads.  I was always among those who lost their heads.

These dreams occurred time after time for years from when I was eight years old.  I sought help to understand these dreams from the religious professionals of the area where I lived in the Ozarks but they were as clueless as I was.  They seem to be very focused on repeating on what their denomination taught and seemed unable to get anything from the Book of Truth (The Bible) on their own.

Then when I was sixteen I read the book of Revelation in the Book of Truth for the first time and it absolutely shook me to the core of my being.  Every one of those things that I had seen in my dreams were in this book.  I was convinced of three things after this:  My dreams were not ordinary dreams.  The Book of Truth was not an ordinary book.  I was in deep trouble.  I knew that I needed to do more than just admit that I had sinned against the Father of Truth and ask the Man of Truth to come live in my heart.  So I began to search for answers.

When I was almost twenty, I finally understood what had been missing in my life.  It was not enough for me to come into the House of Truth when I was eight and then leave the House of Truth to go about living my life no differently than those that had never came into the House of Truth.  The Father of Truth demanded that I stay in the House of Truth if I wanted to be saved.  The Man of Truth did not come to save me from the consequences of my sins but to save me from my sins.  If I would surrender everything to the Man of Truth then the Man of Truth would live in me and give me the power to overcome my sins.  When I finally surrendered everything, everything changed including my dreams. 

I again had similar dreams but from a different perspective.  I was no longer terrified by these dreams nor by the book of Revelation because I was on the winning side.  I knew that every living thing would not be destroyed from the face of the Earth because the Man of Truth was going to save the human race.  I was transported off of the Earth to meet the Man of Truth in the sky before the terrible days came upon the Earth.  I was no longer among those that lost their heads for refusing to take the mark of the evil leader.  The Man of Truth was the one that fought against the evil leader and I was in the army of the Man of Truth.  The Man of Truth was going to end forever the evil that has reign on the Earth since the time of Adam.  The Earth would once again become the paradise that it was meant to be.  The same kind of dreams that once terrified me now comforted me.

What about these dreams and visions?  Were they real or the work of an overactive imagination? 

We must be care to not be lead by dreams and visions alone.  Our actions are not to reflect the confidence that we have in our dreams.  Our actions are to reflect the confidence that we have in the Word of Truth that is found in the Book of Truth (Romans 10:17). 

A dream or vision that is from the Father of Truth will always agree with the Book of Truth and never disagree with the Book of Truth.  A dream or vision that is inspired by a Spirit of Truth will agree with the Book of Truth because it was written by the Spirit of Truth (2 Peter 1:21).   A dream or vision that is inspired by a Spirit of Lies will always disagree with the Book of Truth (1 John 4:6).

A dream or vision from the Father of Truth will always draw you closer to the Man of Truth.  Any dream that leads you away from the Man of Truth is not from the Father of Truth if even if it predicted something that came to pass (Deuteronomy 13:1-3).  A dream or vision that is inspired by the Spirit of Truth will always lead you to the Man of Truth (John 15:26).

A dream or vision from the Father of Truth will always turn out to be true.  Any dream that shows something in the future that does not come to pass is not from the Father of Truth (Deuteronomy 18:21-22).  Any dream that shows something in the future that is inspired by the Spirit of Truth will come to pass (John 16:13).

So how about my dreams and visions?  Were they from the Father of Truth?

The Man of Truth has appeared to people since he went to Heaven so he could have appeared to me.  The Man of Truth appeared to Ananias to tell him about Shaul (aka Saul aka Paul) (Acts 9:10-16).  The Man of Truth appeared to Shaul years later in Corinth (Acts 18:9-11). The Man of Truth appeared to Yachanon (John) on the isle of Patmos (Revelation 1:9-18).

The Man of Truth has absolutely promised life to every Child of Truth.  The Man of Truth really did promise that every Child of Truth would never die (John 11:25-27).  All of the Children of Truth (those who obey the Father of Truth because they love Him) will get a new body that is like the resurrected body of the Man of Truth (1 Corinthians 15:48-50).  One generation of the Children of Truth will have their bodies replaced without experiencing death (1 Corinthians 15:51-53).

The Man of Truth is a Middle Eastern Jew whose appearance is quite typical of those of his days on the Earth.  The Man of Truth wears a garment with white tassels that are wrapped with a sky blue thread as commanded by the Father of Truth (Numbers 15:38).  These white tassels are on the corners of the garment (Deuteronomy 22:12).  There are long locks on each side of his head so that it can be plainly seen that the corners of his head have not been rounded (Leviticus 19:27).  His beard is full and the edges rough so that it can be plainly seen that the corners of his beard have not been cut (Leviticus 21:5).  The Man of Truth was a Jew and the Jews came from Shem the father of all brown skinned people, and the Jews are related closely to Jordanians and the Arabians thru Abraham (aka Abram) (Genesis 11:10-26).   The Man of Truth is a descendant of David and Abraham (Matthew 1:1).  There were only women of Middle Eastern descent listed in the genealogy of the Man of Truth (Matthew 1:3-6).  His skin is caramel colored, his hair is black and his eyes are dark brown which is typical of Middle Eastern Jews as shown in every ancient image of them that has been found from those that were made in the tombs of the Pharaohs in the days of Joseph to the images in the catacombs of Cappadocia that were created shortly after the times of the Apostles.  There is nothing outstanding about the appearance of the Man of Truth (Isaiah 53:2).  The Man of Truth looks just like any other Middle Eastern Jew of his day (Hebrews 2:16-18).

The Book of Truth says that terrible days are coming to this Earth.  The Earth will pelted with many meteorites (Revelation 6:13).  The Earth will be hit with a massive meteorite (Revelation 8:10).  There will be massive hailstones that cause incredible destruction (Revelation 16:21).  There will be terrible fires that will burn up large parts of the Earth (Revelation 8:7).  There will be an earthquake so terrible that it will cause mountains to collapse and islands to sink (Revelation 16:18-20).  Many people will be killed by animals (Revelation 6:8).  Many people will die from disease (Revelation 11:6).  Many people will die from poisoned water (Revelation 8:11).  Many people will die from thirst because they have no water to drink (Revelation 16:4).  Many people will die from their crops being destroyed (Revelation 6:5-8).  Many people will die in many wars that cover the Earth (Revelation 6:3-4).  There will be blood in one battle so deep that the horses will have to hold their heads up to avoid drowning (Revelation 14:20).  It is easy to see that if things continued on like that without being stopped then there would be nothing left living on the Earth (Matthew 24:22).  The Earth would become as lifeless as the moon.

The Book of Truth says that an evil leader, the Man of Lies (The Antichrist aka The Beast aka The Wicked One) will be on the Earth.  The agent of the Man of Lies will tell everyone to be marked as belonging to the Man of Lies (Revelation 13:16).  Those who refuse the mark will not be able to buy groceries or earn money (Revelation 13:17).  The many who still refuse to be marked when they are caught will be beheaded (Revelation 20:4).

The Book of Truth has Good News for those who surrender to the Man of Truth and stay in the House of Truth.  Everything looks different when you are on the winning side.  Every living thing will not be destroyed from the face of the Earth because the Man of Truth is going to save the human race (Mark 13:20).  The Children of Truth will be transported off of this Earth before the terrible days come (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17). The Father of Truth will not pour out His wrath on the Children of Truth (1 Thessalonians 5:8-10).  They will not be among those who lose their heads for refusing to take the mark of the Man of Lies.  They will come back with the Man of Truth when he fights the Man of Lies and they will be in his army (Revelation 19:11-14).  The Man of Truth is going to end the evil that has reigned on the Earth since Adam (Revelation 20:10-15).  The Earth will once again become the paradise that it was always meant to be (Revelation 21:1-4).

I hope you can see that these dreams and visions were from the Father of Truth.  The Father of Truth sent these dreams and visions to draw me to the Man of Truth (John 6:44).  These dreams and visions were given so I could help others to come into the House of Truth in these last days (Acts 2:17).  The Spirit of Truth inspired these dreams and visions to confirm that I was a Child of Truth (Romans 8:16).

What about you?  Are these dreams and visions a source of terror or comfort?  Have you had dreams and visions from the Father of Truth?  How can you know for sure?

The Father of Truth has given you the Book of Truth which is more sure than any dream or vision (2 Peter 1:18-20).  You can come into the House of Truth if you will surrender to the Man of Truth because you believe that the Father of Truth has raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).  The Man of Truth will give you the strength to stay in the House of Truth (Galatians 2:20).

Come into the House of Truth.
